What recent reviews say

Two very different experiences emerge across reviews. Positive visits highlight friendly, affectionate dogs, clean spaces when maintained, decent food, and staff who actively sanitise between customers. Negative visits report overwhelming smells, visible lack of cleanup after accidents, rude service, and too many loose animals in a cramped space; one reviewer also flagged poor welfare conditions for a meerkat in a small cage.

Visitors consistently return for the richly aromatic coffee and homemade pastries, pairing them with a warm, naturally lit space that invites both casual stops and leisurely brunches. The kitchen crafts standout dishes like the Chicken Bolognese Pasta Pie alongside specialty lattes; staff make an effort to accommodate requests and check in warmly, even for guests with newborns.

Reviewers consistently praise the cozy interior, specialty coffee (Melbourne-style long blacks particularly noted), and the ability to customise dishes. Staff are friendly and the space suits casual afternoon visits or small gatherings. One recent complaint flagged upstairs air conditioning not working, so temperature control may be inconsistent.

Planty Of Joy Cafe

4.0(169)✓ Verified

Strong appeal for those seeking a plant-filled, pet-friendly refuge with decent coffee and casual meals. Strength lies in ambience and pet welcome. However, plant upkeep varies widely, food quality is inconsistent, and the exposed kitchen counter at the entrance deters first-time visitors.
